G                    D7              G
Die Gedanken sind frei, my thoughts freely flower
      G                    D7               G
die Gedanken sind frei, my thoughts give me power,
    D          G           D7         G
no scholar can map them,no hunter can trap them
   C         G         D7         G
no man can deny,die Gedanken sind frei.

[Verse 2]
  G                      D7            G
I think as I please, and this gives me pleasure
   G                        D7           G
my conscience decrees, this right I must treasure
   D                 G         D7         G
my thoughts will not cater, to duke or dictator
   C         G         D7          G
no man can deny, die Gedanken sind frei.

[Verse 3]
    G                           D7          G
And should tyrants take me, and throw me in prison
   G                              D7          G
my thoughts will burst free, like blossoms in season
    D            G            D7              G
foundations will crumble, and structures will tumble
   C         G          D7         G
no man can deny, die Gedanken sind frei.
